9 ways To Make Your Android Phone Charge Faster

Make Your Android Phone Charge Faster

1:- Enable Airplane mode:

One of the biggest things that drain your battery is the network signal.

The worse your signal, the faster your battery will drain. Unfortunately, if you live in an area with a poor signal, charging your phone takes longer than if you reside in a place with a strong signal.

The quick solution? Or should I say the easy way out?

Put your phone in Airplane mode before you plug it in. Testing suggests it could reduce the amount of time needed for a full charge by as much as 25%.

That’s fast right?

You can surely make your Android device to charge faster if you out your Android device in Airplane.

You might be asking how you can put your phone in airplane mode. To put your phone in airplane mode simply swipe down on the notification bar with two fingers and tap the airplane mode icon. But be sure you turn it off once you’re done charging.

Alternatively, you can just hold down your power button for some seconds and then tap on the airplane icon to turn it off. This might differ in some devices.

2:- Turn Your Android Phone Off

The second step is to turn your cell phone off.

Simple. But often overlooked.

Maybe it may look dull because most people are guilty of using their phones while it’s charging. If your phone is turned off while it’s repowering, it’s going to charge a lot faster. Nothing will be draining the battery while you fill it up.

This is actually one of the best methods that you can use to make your Android phone charge faster. 

3:- Try using a wall socket.

Wanna make your Android phone charge faster and you are using a USB port on your computer or the port in your car? Well, using any of these ports leads to a much more inefficient charging experience.

Typically, non-wall sockets charging will usually give you 1A (depending on your device) and this will surely speed up charging Android. There’s nothing wrong with having a lower amperage. It won’t cause any harm to your device, but you’ll definitely be twiddling your thumbs for a lot longer.

So, to make your Android phone charge faster. You should consider this tip.

4:- Close all unused Apps

Let’s say you don’t want to turn on airplane mode or turn on ultra power saving mode. You could close all unused Apps. It also helps in charging Android faster.

Whenever you want to charge Android faster, you need to make sure all unused Apps are closed.

5:- Have a power bank.

If you need to recharge your phone while you are on the go. For example, if you are often out traveling all day. A power bank can be a live saver you know.

Any power bank offers the same amperage output as a wall socket, and in some cases, even more.

I personally use this method to charge my Android phone faster.

But a word of warning, while your phone might charge faster with a two amp output you need to make sure your USB cable can handle the extra power.

6:- Turn On Ultra power saving mode

Most devices have this mode. (especially Samsung devices).

You could use this method instead of ”turning on airplane mode”. Turning off airplane mode will make seize all network connection on your Android device.

But turning on ultra power saving mode keeps your network connection active. It will only shut down most apps from running.

Charging with the ultra power saving mode is a great way to speed up charging Android. Your Android device will charge faster with this mode activated.

7:- Avoid wireless charging

Woah!

I’m sure your eyes are wider than normal right now or your mouth is open.

Well, snap out of it dear friend.

This is not to criticise wireless chargers. They entail fewer cables, and that’s something I’m sure we can get on board with. But, if charging speed is your number one priority you should avoid them.

They offer a considerably slower charging experience than their wired counterparts. In fact testing suggests they could be as much as 50% slower.

Why there are?

Two reasons.

First: It’s more efficient to transfer energy through a cable than via simple contact.

Secondly: The wasted energy manifests itself as excess heat. More on that in the last phase.

So, do you really want to make your Android phone charge faster? Avoid wireless charging and embrace wired charging. This will surely speed up charging Android.

8:- Use a high-quality cable

The difference in quality between two cables can be vast.

Inside your single charging cable are four individual cables. Green, white, red and black.

The white and green cables are for charging. The number of amps the two charging cables can carry is being determined by their size. A standard 28- gauge cable can carry two Amps.

Uhm, is this sounding like rocket science to you?

Oops, my bad!

Just have it at that back of your mind that if you want to speed up charging Android or probably make your Android phone charge faster, you need to use a high-quality cable

9:- Ensure charge mode is enabled

Let’s say you are using a PC to charge your Android device. When a USB cable is plugged in, your device will prompt you to choose from many options.

1. Media sharing
2. Charge only
3. ETC

Getting confused?

What I am saying is;

Your Android lets you specify what type of connection to make when you plug in a USB cable.

On the most recent versions of Android, it’s hidden in the developer options menu.

To do this head to settings  > about phone  > build number. Quietly tap on the build number seven times. After the fast two processes, your device will give you an on-screen countdown for the number of necessary taps remaining.

Next head to settings > developer options  > select USB configuration. On the list of the option,   Make sure charging is selected.
